About this listen

With millions watching on live stream, a retired British school teacher running his heroic young battlemage avatar, Daxx, and his teammates—Qrysta, an Asian American dual-wielding sword dancer, and Grell, an Australian Orc—win the World Championship of Sword and Sorcery.

Next thing he knows, he finds himself alone in the middle of a wilderness he doesn’t recognize, with no sign of the others. Armed only with a crappy sword he has no idea how to use, and in beginner-level gear, he discovers, to his astonishment, that he is now his own avatar, Daxx. For real.

And wolves are howling nearby, and getting closer.

If he is to find out where he is, and what has happened, and why: first, he needs to survive.

And so the adventure starts, leading to a quest far more challenging than any he has faced before, in which the stakes are not only the fate of the realm, but their very lives.

Critic reviews

“A wild ride through realms and realities that are not only fun to explore but also to savor, with a profound wisdom that all adds up to a journey you’ll never forget.” - Steve Reich, Emmy award–winning writer and producer

“A really believable mythology (and cosmology) which I bought into right from the outset…Fantastic in every sense of the word.” - Nina Spensley, producer, script editor, and writer

“Full of twists and turns and surprises, and filled with great visuals—with plenty of light-hearted fun amid the dangers. I loved losing myself in all the magic, mystery, and mayhem.” - Barbara Strasen, painter and multi-media artist
